Buon secondo numero che non delude troppo, ma che non fa gridare al miracolo.

#2: Non ci siamo proprio.
Ho l'impressione che Snyder giochi con se stesso a spararla sempre più grossa.

Se ripenso al suo "esordio" con lo Specchio Nero, mi viene da piangere.

JUSTICE LEAGUE #2 Reveals Invisible Emotional Spectrum, More Surprises - SPOILERS

Justice League #2
Written by Scott Snyder
Art by Jorge Jimenez and Alejandro Sanchez
Lettering by Tom Napolitano
Published by DC Comics
Review by Joey Edsall
'Rama Rating: 7 out of 10

Before getting into the actual quality of the comic itself, there is a gravity to Justice League #2 that's obvious in the first few pages, and which only ramps up as the comic progresses. Writer Scott Snyder is at his best when he is making things difficult for his protagonists, and he spends much of the second installment of his run doing so, while artist Jorge Jimenez imbues the actions he is depicting with a sense of importance. Rounding out the creative team are colorist Alejandro Sanchez, whose understanding of lighting gives the artwork a greater sense of depth, and letterer Tom Napolitano, who has always had a particular mastery of balancing a lot of words in panels bursting with action. While Snyder, Jimenez, and Sanchez create a memorable and exciting book when they are all delivering their best, there is an uneven nature to this comic in terms of story and visuals that makes the comic inconsistent.

There is a lot of plot in the comic's lean 20-page duration. Justice League #2 has a twisting and interesting opening, with Lex Luthor giving a speech amid a U.S. flag backdrop. A few panels later reveals that he is speaking at the Kansas West Legionaires Club to a crowd of about five old-timers who look on with confusion. The comic then quickly offers another twist when Luthor blows the building up while exiting through an ethereal door that seems to have just manifested. The comic then jumps to Green Lantern John Stewart, who knows that things are amiss in the universe when Swamp Thing appears, delivering a message from Batman on behalf of Martian Manhunter.

As Stewart refuses to join the Justice League in investigating the Totality, an energy source containing all of the power of the shattered Source Wall, Snyder winds up throwing the longtime Lantern a curveball, slyly introducing the threat of the Invisible Emotional Spectrum. Meanwhile, Luthor assembles the villains of the Legion of Doom and talks about how two of the seven forces necessary to access the totality. This sequence is one of the comic's stronger ones, as it, along with the earlier scene of Luthor, shows Snyder confident in the long-term story he is telling. When he gets into that storyteller groove — as evident by this scene and the narration as it comes sparingly — he's one of the best current superhero comic writers.

Readers will likely have a hard time with the part of the plot that depicts Stewart receiving a message via Swamp Thing, from Batman, on behalf of Martian Manhunter. The only real payoff to making that obtuse line of communication is a throwaway panel of Batman saying that Martian Manhunter's hands are full while the latter is in the midst of a brutal fight. The payoff of John Stewart bearing the Ultraviolet Lantern Corps ring is undoubtedly cool and a highlight of both Jimenez and Sanchez's work, but the way he re-emerges mid-sentence seems more random than anything else, and the story loses momentum as a result. Meanwhile, the comic's conclusion of Superman and Martian Manhunter entering the Totality is visually engaging and dramatic, but ultimately cheap as an ending. Strong serialized storytelling will often end with change, and the best will leave readers to contemplate how the ending they just read will affect the characters. This doesn't do that. Rather than wondering about the consequences of the ending, readers are left wondering what the ending is in the first place. The disparity between how engaging the opening is and how cheap the final moment is hurts the overall impression of the story being told.

Jimenez's best moments are undoubtedly those earlier in the comic, showing Superman and Martian Manhunter in high-tech power suits in the desert sunlight. The former has Jimenez playing with styles in interesting ways, as Gorilla Grodd's more cartoonish aesthetic appears in panel with grittier-looking characters and makes everything look more exciting. The latter is such a change of pace visually from what he has drawn for the majority of the comic, and frames it in such a way that it emphasizes both the heroes' isolation as the only two capable of crossing the barrier and their powerful standing as heroes. Unfortunately, Jimenez's background art in the middle of the book in particular holds the rest of the book back aesthetically. He is obviously a talented artist when it comes to drawing people and things to fill his panels, and he is equally skilled at large action sequences, but when things slow down the comic often presents readers with single scenes and plain backgrounds. This is mostly a problem with Justice League-focused scenes, as John Stewart's space-tinged scenes have enough cosmic ambiance in the background that the earlier panels become noticeable.

The aforementioned space and desert scenes are where Sanchez is at his peak. Sanchez's lighting in space is where it is at its best as he often uses those opportunities to make panels that feel otherworldly through their coloring. The contrast of that setting with the desert scene is as powerful as it is because of the color choices. The light of the sky feels close to light glowing off of Sinestro, and turning the page feels like opening a door to the outside world. In the bombastic panels that close out the issue, the colors help make the flurry of action feel distinct. Napolitano's lettering is noticeably good in these moments, as he allows the images to breathe while guiding readers' eyes along the panels. Where Sanchez struggles is in the action sequences, with a lot of the impact's being rendered as plain white, which makes the panels they are in look unfinished.

This feels like the weak issue of a good arc, and with how many storyline elements Snyder has at play at once, there's an incredible number of directions that the story can go from this early point. That, combined with how good the stronger moments of this issue are, make Justice League #2 a fun, if sometimes frustrating read. Cheap endings with some sloppy executions in terms of story and art are blemishes on something that feels like it could be special. And when you look at the moments when the story and the art are at their peak, this is a comic that is. Hopefully, whatever our heroes find at the other end of the barrier will give the title a more immediate focus to smooth itself out in the coming months.

Review: JUSTICE LEAGUE #2


8.5/10

Justice League #2 (Published by DC Comics; Review by Justin Partridge; 'Rama Rating: 9 out of 10):

Justice League continues to just flat-out rule as it heads into its second installment. Faced with the looming presence of the Totality, the League shores up more allies in order to venture into it and suss out its true purpose. But on the other side of the coin, Lex Luthor is doing the same, infiltrating the League in a truly ingenious way while the rest of the Legion of Doom ready themselves for a showdown with the new League. Scott Snyder is throwing a lot of comic book crazy around here in this issue, but in doing so, he has yet to lose a grip on the big characters and their personalities, which is a welcome sight. Sure, this script is a little wordy and nakedly expository at times, but with so much going on, beautifully rendered by Jorge Jimenez and the searing colors of Alejandro Sanchez, it is hard to really be mad at it.
